Ep31: A New Way to Treat Prostate Cancer: A Conversation with Profound Medical's Patient Advocates
According to the American Cancer Society, approximately one in eight men will be diagnosed with a prostate condition during their lifetime. Focused ultrasound offers a noninvasive, radiation-free treatment option for prostate conditions and has been approved in more than 50 countries, including the United States.
In this episode of Curing with Sound, we explore focused ultrasound for prostate cancer through the lens of a patient and a patient advocate. Bob Palmer, who underwent the TULSA-PRO procedure - a minimally invasive, incision-free treatment - discusses his decision-making process and treatment experience. He is joined by Eve Satterthwaite, a registered nurse and patient educator at Profound Medical. She provides an overview of what patients can expect from the procedure and her role in guiding them through treatment.
Bob shares how Eve helped him evaluate treatment options after his prostate cancer diagnosis and what led him to choose TULSA-PRO, particularly in light of potential side effects associated with surgery and radiation. Eve explains how she helps patients understand their options, outlines the clinical benefits of the TULSA procedure, and addresses common patient concerns.
Discussion highlights:
Modern Prostate Treatment Options: An overview of the TULSA-PRO procedure, an FDA-approved treatment that offers an incision-free alternative to traditional prostate cancer treatments, with minimal downtime and reduced risk of side effects affecting quality of life.
Informed Choices Through Education: Insights into how clear, comprehensive information about available treatments can help patients make confident, well-informed decisions.
